💡 Matching Powered by Matchbox

Matchbox is a smart, science-based matching platform that’s helped over 500,000+ people in 40 countries find deeper compatibility. At this event, it’s your secret wingman.

How it Works:

• 📝 Take a short relationship questionnaire when you arrive (built by scientists, curated by your host).
• 🤖 Our algorithm finds your most compatible match in the room, using values and Nobel Prize–winning econ.
• 💌 Matches are revealed later in the evening—see if sparks fly!

⸻

🎟️ Your Ticket ($35 with taxes and fees) Includes:

• 1 drink
• Fresh popcorn
• The Matchbox matching experience

💫 What to Expect:

• Intentional matching—come with an open mind.
• Even if it’s not love at first sight, the algorithm aims for values-based compatibility.
• Great people, great vibes—kindness and curiosity encouraged!

🕒 Event Schedule:

• 6:00 PM – Doors open, bar opens, questionnaire goes live
• 7:00 PM – Doors close, matching begins, clues are given
• 7:30 PM – Matches revealed—you meet your match!
• 8:00 PM – Official program ends, but guests are welcome to keep mingling

❓ FAQs:

What’s the age range?
Ages 22 to 39 (roughly early 20s to mid-30s). You are matched with some regards to age.

What if I don’t get a match?
We aim for a 50/50 gender balance, but if life throws off the ratio, some guests will receive a platonic match and a discount for a future event.

What’s the refund policy?
Due to limited space and balancing, no refunds are available within 4 days of the event. We may offer credits in rare cases.
